magnitude of his business, is, with
few exceptions, obliged to have some
one to act as a factor, to furnish him
means through the year, and if they
are to be treated by the Charleston
factors as AIessrs. S,nythe & Adger
treated Nlessrs. Turner & Brother the
sooner they find a new base of opera
tons the better. In other words, if
our country merchants and farmers
are to be snubbed by Charleston fac
tors simply because they say that the
cotton shipped to that place loses in
weight they had better transfer their
business to some city where they will
be more courteously treated. This
attempt on the part of Mcssrs. Smythe
& Adger to punish a firm for telling
the truth will not help them Dor the
trade of Charleston, and we would ad-
wise those gentlemen to mend their
ways if they want any business from
this section.

Money TO he Made.

It is said that dull times are not known
by the agents for the great publishing hoase
of George Stinson & Co., of Portland, Maine.
The reason of this exceptional success Is
found in the fact that they always give the
public that which is keenly appreciated and
at prices that all can afford. At present we
understand, their agents are doing wonder
fully we'll on several new lines. They need
many more agents in all parts of the coun-
try. Those who need profitable work should
apply at once Women do as we'll as men.
Experience is not necessary, for Messrs.
Stinson l. Co. undertake 70 show all who are
willing to work. not hard but earnestly, the
path to larg. success. 1t should be remem-
bered that an agent can do O handsome bu-
siness without being away from home over
night. Another advantage costs nothing
to give the business trial, and an agent
can devote all his time, or only his spare
moments to it. Stinson & Co. guarantee
grand success to all who engage and follow
Simple and plain directions that they give.
We have not space to explain all here, but
full particulars will be sent free to those who

GOOD MAY GROW OUT OF IT.

The controversy over the Canadian
fisheries has about subsided. Commis,
sioners of the two countries will sue
ceed in arbitrating amicably this oft
disputed question, which it is to be
hoped will put quietus to it for an
other century The talk OF war by
newspapers on both sides of the At
lantic, and by certain belligerent con-
gressmen, has done no harm and may
do this country good by arousipg oul
government to the necessity OF having
sufficient navy to protect its COM
merce and ports. There is a elamor
for coast defences for our OWL State.
Gharleston's defences are inefficient,
the Neus and Courier declares, to re-
sist naval attack, and there are 9th
ers; the Palmetto Post claims that Port
Poyal the most inviting port in the
State for an enemy TO land, is totally
without any means of defence.
This talk OF war has already brought
Congress to the front. Twerty-one
millions of dollars are to be spent in
the purchase of steel suitable for war
purposes, and the erection OF forti6ca-
tions and other works

THE CITY OF THE SAND HILLS.
FuLToN, S. c., Jan. Il, 1887.

That the Augusta and Manchester
Rail Road Will be built, and run quite
near Fulton, is now certainty. Col
F. Gardner, chief engineer for the At
lantic Coast Line, a week ago, inspect
ed the courses run, and work of the
survey; he also prospected the coun-
try's topography. Evidently the To-
cality was satisfactory, as the corps
were Immediately returned to Sumter
for the purpose Of establishing the
permanent line, that the construction
can at once be begun. The partial re-
survey now being made, will not, We
think, materially altar the course as
now staked, except the necessary devi-
alton required to bring the road quite
near to Fulton x Roads, which it has
been deemed advisable to do. There
exists some doubling Thomases" who
adon't believe that the railroad is COM
ine"-there are some people "who
don't believe"-anything. One thing
we would advise them to "don't" be-
lieve is-themselves. A gentleman
residing here, has received from Colo

positive assurance of the commences
of the enterprise, and OF the certainty
of speedy construction. IF the most

FRIGHTFUL LOSS OF LIFE.

On the 5th of February an Express
Train in New England, running at
their usual high rate of speed, was
precipltated in moment from Wood
stock bridge, sixty feet to the frozen
river below, occasiored, as is claimed,
by a broken rail.
Four heavily loaded passenger cars,
every foot of available space-crowd-
ed with persons going to Montreal,
for the purpose of attending the ''ice
carnival-were thus rushed with their
loads of gay, hilarious passengers into
a terrible, heartrending doom, and
without minutes warning impend-
ing danger. The engine and postal
car passed over the bridge safely; but
the coaches, striking the abuttments,
were thus knocked back in the man
:ner described.
The loss Of life is appalling! Fifty
killed outright and eighty, perhaps
twice that number wounded, mangled
and burnt by the terrific conAagra-
ton Immediately following the catas-
trophe. The night was intensely cold
and the suffering was thus augmented
to very great degree. Horrible:

Orange6urg Times and Democrat.
In q late discussion of cotton
weights between Col. S. W. Nelson, of
Clarendon County, and the Charleston
Cotton Exchange, many a&dayits
from outsiders were published by
Colonel Nelson to substantiate his
charge that cotton shipped to Charles
ton invariably fell short in weights.
One of the afidavits thus published
was from Messrs. Turner & Brother,
merchants OF Clarendon County.
Taeir affidavit contained no charge OF
fraud, but simply stated that the cot
ton shipped by them to their factors
in Charleston, Messrs. Smythe & Ad-
ger, generally lost in weight. There
was certainly no harm in their stating
this fact, if it was true, and we pre.
sumo it was as Messrs. Smythe & Ad-
ger did not deny ii, yet, We learn
ron the Manning TmEs, when
3lessrs. Turner s Brother visited
Charleston recently and, after paying
up every cent due on account Of last
years business, tried to make a con-
tract for another year, that Messrs.
Smythe i Adger refused to continue
to advance to them because they had
made the affidavit alluded to above.
As the TINES says Messrs. Smythe &
A6ger ere masters o; their own mon

prise. Encompassing as it will, one
of the most dense timber belts in the
State, the road will be OF especial ben
eft to those owning an excess of tim
ber. The multifarious varieties of
valuable timber with which the San
tee swamp is so thickly studded, can
by this means find its way into the
markets of the world. The healthi-
ness OF the "Sand Hills is proverbial,
and its merits will doubtless in time,
be so appreciated as will lead to the
"City of the Sand Hills" being the San
itarium where the valetudinarian from
the chilly and consumptive North can
be rejuvenated by breathing the air Of
this dry and salubrious climate. In
the light of all these advantages to be
derived from this much needed rail
road, we feel that the people of Fulton
have cause to congratulate themselves
and while we are proud of our usual
digni6ed and sedate demeanor, and
dislike to appear too gushing, yet were
we to say that the contemplation Of
this gigantic enterprise was accom-
panied by the emotions of unconcern,
